Politics

Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions, often involving the governance of a state or community. It encompasses the activities associated with the organization, administration, and control of public affairs, including the creation and enforcement of laws, allocation of resources, and decision-making regarding public policies. Politics can occur at various levels, including local, national, and international, and involves various actors such as governments, political parties, interest groups, and citizens. Political systems and ideologies, such as democracy, autocracy, and socialism, shape how power is distributed and exercised. Political engagement often involves negotiation, debate, and conflict, as different interests and values compete for influence and control over societal resources and direction.
